DDI Named Best in State by ACEC Indiana

INDIANAPOLIS, Indiana - A Diverging Diamond Interchange (DDI) project designed by
B&N’s Indianapolis team received the 2016 Grand Award from the American Council
of Engineering Companies (ACEC) Indiana in the recent Engineering Excellence Awards
competition.

This is the third year in a row a B&N-designed project has been chosen by ACEC Indiana
as the Grand Award winner, which is considered one of the state's highest engineering
honors.

"It is an honor to be recognized by ACEC. We are the first engineering firm in the
state to win the Grand Award three years in a row, which is a testament to the engineering
excellence and value added cost savings we strive to bring to every project," noted
B&N Indianapolis District Director Scott Sondles, PE. "The award is especially significant
as 2016 marks our 25th year of continuous service to communities and citizens across
the state of Indiana."

Completed for the Indiana Department of Transportation (INDOT), the DDI - located
in Fort Wayne - was the first to be designed and built in the state. It was designed
to add traffic capacity and relieve congestion to support ongoing development in
the area. With two hospitals nearby, the revamped interchange also improves access
for emergency

This is the second "Best in State" award the DDI has earned. It previously was named
"Civil Engineering Project of the Year" by the American Society of Civil Engineers
(ASCE) Indiana section.

Congratulations to INDOT and the entire project team on this recognition!

B&N also received the ACEC Indiana Grand Award in 2015 for the Milton-Madison Bridge Slide and in 2014 for the Broad Ripple Dam Rehabilitation.
